Quickstart
From sign-up to a published changelog entry in about five minutes.
1. Sign up
Go to usedrumroll.com/sign-up and create an account. Email/password or social SSO both work. After sign-up you'll land on the onboarding flow.
2. Tell us about yourself
The first step asks for your name and an optional photo. This is shown next to your authored entries inside the workspace. Skip if you'd rather.
3. Create your workspace
Pick a workspace name (e.g. "Acme") and a slug (e.g. acme). The slug becomes your public subdomain: acme.usedrumroll.com. Slugs are lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, and need to be unique.
Pick a short slug. It's hard to change later (it would break links your customers may have shared).
4. Add branding (optional)
Drop in a logo, a favicon, a cover image, and pick a theme preset - or paste your homepage URL and we'll auto-fill the logo and brand color. You can skip and do this from Settings → Branding any time.
5. Connect a source (optional)
If you want changelog entries to appear automatically when you ship, connect GitHub, JIRA, or Bitbucket on the source step. Or skip and write entries by hand.
6. Write your first entry
You're now in the workspace admin. Click + New entry in the Changelog section:
- Add a title (e.g. "v1.0 launch").
- Pick a date (defaults to today).
- Add tags (optional, comma-separated).
- Write the body in the editor - use the "New features", "Enhancements", or "Bug fixes" chips at the top to insert section headings.
- Set status to Published, save.
7. See it live
Open your-slug.usedrumroll.com/changelog in a new tab. That's the surface your customers see.
From here, look at Branding and themes for polish, Writing rich content for the editor features you may not have noticed, or Connecting integrations to automate entries.
